There was once a boy who happened to pass by a pet store one day. There was a dog on display that he could not take his eyes off. He was curious to check it out and maybe play with it for awhile. Though he knew he could not afford the dog but nevertheless, he played with it for a little while. It was a simple yet sweet looking dog. Simple, sweet looking dog?? Isn't that kinda rare?? Indeed it was but he knew he could not take it home because it was too expensive.
As Christmas was coming, all he wanted for Christmas was the dog. He worked really hard during the months before Christmas so that he could save enough money to buy it. He was back at the pet store hoping to get the dog before Christmas. But because it was Christmas, the price for the dog has gone up. The boy was saddened because despite his hard work, he still could not afford it. To him, that dog was a special one, one that is really different from any other dogs that he has seen and played before.
In the midst of the crowd, the shop owner happened to spot the boy as he sat there in the store not knowing what to do. The owner remembered it was the same little boy who came to his store a few months back to play with the dog. He knew the dog had a special bond with the boy because he could see how happy the dog felt every time the boy played with it.
Because all the owner wanted is for the dog to be happy with someone, he knew the boy was sincere and that he truly liked the dog. He allowed him to have the dog at no cost but with a few conditions.
1. Love her with all your heart, love her and her only.
2. Respect her and treat her like how she should be treated.
3. Keep her safe where ever you bring her to.
4. Enjoy your time when you are with her.
That was all he asked of the little boy.
As days turned into years, the dog soon passed on leaving the boy who once loved her dearly. Although she was no longer with him now, he could not forget the happiness she has brought him.
